Clarity, lack

Since CSS clarity, lack of care, and insufficient training were essentially equal contributors to the cause of violations, efforts to improve these areas should be shared equally. From analyses of violation reports and interviews of individuals involved with the CSS, the following suggestions for improvements are considered. 

The state of knowledge in the early 1990s of the effects of fat on health lacks clarity and general agreement. There is great support for the thesis that fully saturated fats are associated with problems of atherosclerosis and arterial fatty deposit, but there is evidence that stearates, which are saturates, are only poorly utilized in human digestion. Another body of work has estabUshed a connection between unsaturated fatty acids and a better state of arterial health and lowered fat body attachment to the arterial wall (23) contrary evidence exists that highly unsaturated fats polymerize more readily and thus contribute to arterial plaque formation. 

From a brief consideration of the properties of the above three polymers it will be realised that there are substantial differences between the crystallisation of simple molecules such as water and copper sulphate and of polymers such as polyethylene. The lack of rigidity, for example, of polyethylene indicates a much lower degree of crystallinity than in the simple molecules. In spite of this the presence of crystalline regions in a polymer has large effects on such properties as density, stiffness and clarity. 

Everyone who has ever accepted a team or committee assignment knows the frustration of fuzzy definitions of responsibilities, of individual roles, of leadership, or of the team s overall mandate. Teams lacking clarity in these critical areas tend to fall apart quickly. 

The following example highlights how lack of clarity of instructions can lead to errors of misinterpretation. 

These may give rise to lack of clarity with regard to who is responsible within an operating team. 

It is certainly this lack of clarity which leads to the current situation. Flashpoints are usually given without any mention of either the open or closed cup aspects or the make of apparatus. Amongst the thousand or so organic substances listed in Part Two, more than one hundred of them mention oc and cc , which enables comparisons to be made. Nevertheless, a study of the data indicates that the difference between experimental values can reach 56°C for the same substance (for instance, butadiene). It happens quite often that for flashpoints lower values oc than cc values for the same substance are found.The nature of the sources of the level of measurement error in flashpoints can easily be guessed at. 

A technician was asked to make a 5/95 nitric acid/ethanol solution. He made a 95/5 mixture because of a misunderstanding (or a lack of clarity in the instructions given). The mixture detonated immediately. 

Because polyethylene terephthalate crystallizes slowly, it can readily be produced in its amorphous state. This is especially true when it is used in packaging materials, such as thin films and carbonated drink bottles. The final products exhibit high clarity and directionally balanced properties because they lack crystalline regions. 

Despite the current lack of clarity regarding the relationship between glass transition and chemical reaction kinetics, it is still quite feasible that chemical and biochemical reaction rates may be governed by mobility, i.e., the mobility that is most rate limiting to a particular reaction scheme (e.g., water mobility, reactant mobility, molecular-level matrix mobility, local or microregion mobility), but perhaps not simply by an average amorphous solid mobility as reflected by the Tg. Ludescher et al. (2001) recommend the use of luminescence spectroscopy to investigate how rates of specific chemical and physical processes important in amorphous solid foods are influenced by specific modes of molecular mobility, as well as by molecular structure. 

The reasons for this lack of clarity are, of course, not difficult to understand. Chemical munitions must achieve their objectives amidst a multitude of variables. Methods of delivery, devices used for dissemination, wind velocity, barometric readings, air temperature, characteristics of the terrain and existing physical barriers will all affect the outcome. In addition, one must take into account the possibility of escape or evasion, as well as the potency and speed of action of the substance itself... 

The success of any mathematical model, and in turn the computer code, depends completely on the clarity of the conceptual model (physical model). The authors have concluded from a comprehensive literature review on the subject of solid-fuel combustion, that there is a slight conceptual confusion in parts of this scientific domain. The first example of this is the lack of distinction between the thermochemical conversion of solid fuels and the actual gas-phase combustion process, which led these authors to the formulation of the three-step model. The thermochemical conversion of solid fuels is a two-phase phenomenon (fluid-solid phenomenon), whereas the gas-phase combustion is a one-phase phenomenon (fluid phenomenon). 

We are exceedingly grateful for the way in which Ruth Swann was able to improve the proofs by detecting lack of clarity in places and by suggesting organisational improvements. She accepted what were sometimes quite substantial handwritten changes with good humour and executed them with deft professionalism. 

My colleagues Drs Ted Dinan and Veronica O Keane of the Department of Psychiatry, Trinity College, Dublin, kindly offered to read critically the penultimate draft of the text. Their contribution was crucial in highlighting the errors, inconsistencies and lack of clarity in the draft. Their time and energy in helping to improve the text is gratefully acknowledged. Any errors and omissions that remain are, of course, entirely the responsibility of the author ... 

These interchanges are summarized in Table 3 and shown schematically for each of the 5 peaks of Gl and G2 in Fig. 8. The results from peaks 11 to 17 of G3 are omitted in Fig. 8 for the sake of clarity. The lacking baseline-separation would... 

The United States production of amino plastics was more than 3 billion pounds in 2001. The urea-formadehyde polymers account for slightly more than 85% of the total. The amino plastics are similar in properties to the phenolics but are clearer and colorless. They are also harder but have somewhat lower impact strength and resistance to heat and moisture. The melamine resins are better than the ureas in hardness and resistance to heat and moisture. The melamine and urea resins are rated for continuous use at temperatures of 130-150°C and 100°C, respectively. The general applications of the amino and phenolic plastics are the same but there are uses where the amino plastics are superior. The melamine resins find an important niche due to their combination of clarity and lack of color compared to the phenolics and their superior hardness and heat and moisture resistance compared to... 

A significant fraction, more than 25%, of the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) (Sec. 3-14a) produced by radical polymerization consists of various copolymers of ethylene. LDPE has come under increasing economic pressure in recent years because of a combination of factors [Doak, 1986]. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) has displaced LDPE in applications such as blow-molded bottles and thin films where the increased strength of HDPE is preferred over the clarity of LDPE. Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) (Sec. 8-1 lc) competes effectively with LDPE in terms of both cost and properties. New producers of ethylene have entered the LDPE market because of a lack of alternatives for their feedstocks. Many LDPE producers use copolymerization as a strategy to obtain products more resistant to displacement by HDPE and LLDPE. 

Despite the apparent clarity of the nomenclature rules, several papers in the area of the A-type proanthocyanidins still lack proper implementation of these rules. The reader must therefore ascertain the correctness of published names. In addition, the reader is also referred to the growing body of evidence of the physiological importance of these compounds, data of which can be found in several of the papers listed in the references. 

The lack of clarity of new processes, new dependencies, endangered process safety, less control options, and increased liabilities act as stumbling blocks that inhibit fundamental reform.
